January 2024

People filed plagiarism complaints against Nintendo because of Palworld, and

the Pokemon Company gave an official response

In short, "Sure, I'll handle it"

But in July 2024, Palworld developer PocketFair dropped a business expansion announcement

"Palworld is teaming up with Sony Music Entertainment and Aniplex to expand the Palworld IP."

"They plan to further grow the Palworld IP through various licensing deals in the future."

Nintendo "That's crossing the line??"

I'm suing you

Normalization

      they probably didn't sue cuz they couldn't copy it well enough now, like "if we sue this they'll admit it's similar" lol

      nintendo always thinks even if they rake in cash we’re the ogs and we’ll win if we stick it out <so we were just letting them get away with it but as soon as they said they’d sign with sony we were like sue them right away

      genshin or kart just borrowed the gameplay, not the characters, so they got away with it but palworld swiped the characters, so they pulled out a knife on the ip expansion.

    Seems like they're filing a patent lawsuit as a real warning. If Nintendo starts picking fights over their patents with other games, the kind of games we know would be impossible to make without Nintendo. (Nintendo actually holds a patent on the "health‑bar" system, and apparently they have dozens of such patents...)
